Veal Normande

The apple orchards of Normandy have produced some of Europe’s finest apples for over 1,000 years. Also noted for its dairy products, it’s little wonder that Veal Normande with an earthy, creamy sauce has become one of the region’s finest.

Traditionally, Calvados, the exquisite apple brandy produced there is used, but in the U.S. we suggest using Laird’s Applejack, which is an excellent substitute for the rather pricey Calvados.

Serve this with Wild Rice or as they would in France, with sauteed, home-fried potatoes.
